Public bug reported: Hello,
I'm upgrading a laptop of mine, which still is running on 6.10. The end goal is to get the laptop to the latest version, however, it fails with the upgrade to 7.04. According to the wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades) do-release should to the trick, however it fails because it tries to download from archive.ubuntu.com for edgy, while its located at old- releases.ubuntu.com... I've located the origin of the problem in DistUpgradeControler.py (line 351): # special case for old-releases.ubuntu.com, auto transition # them back to archive.ubuntu.com - now this is a problem # of course for people upgrading from EOL release to a # EOL release if (not entry.disabled and entry.uri.startswith("http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu";)): entry.uri = "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"; logging.debug("transitioning old-releases.ubuntu.com to '%s' " % entry) continue This basically causes downloads from incorrect repositories. sources.list before upgrade: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe multiverse deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted Changes to during the upgrade: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted And then the download fails.
